Bryce Freeman 2011

Bryce J. Freeman

BS Chemical Engineering ‘96
Columbia, Md.

Bryce Freeman has advanced rapidly through the ranks at one of the world’s largest consumer products companies, Proctor & Gamble, where he has worked since graduating from Iowa State. He began his career as a process engineer in Iowa City; was transferred to Hunt Valley, Md., in 2003; and today oversees a 450-person cosmetics manufacturing operation. He was recently appointed associate director overseeing P&G’s European cosmetics manufacturing from the company’s operations in Ireland.

Freeman has been recognized by Proctor & Gamble for his strong contributions in the area of quality assurance. He received the company’s top quality assurance award – the Outstanding Quality Leader of the Year – in 2007 and has twice been recognized with a 100% Quality Assurance Capability corporate rating. He has also received the P&G Personal Beauty Care Product Supply Award (2007) and P&G Recognition Shares for his organizational work with respect and diversity (1999).

In addition to his notable career achievements, Freeman is a distinguished volunteer leader. He has been extensively involved with FarmHouse Fraternity, of which he was an undergraduate member at ISU. He served on the ISU chapter’s alumni association board from 2000-2003, including a term as president in 2003. He was elected to the FarmHouse International board of directors in 2002, served a term as vice president, and was international board president from 2006-2010. In this role, Freeman strengthened membership in the fraternity’s chapters; created new initiatives to reach out to FarmHouse’s 29,000 alumni; and increased philanthropic support and bone marrow donor registration to benefit FarmHouse’s primary philanthropy, the Leukemia-Lymphoma Society.

Over the years Freeman has also been involved with such community organizations as United Way, Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County (Iowa), Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the American Cancer Society, and Our Daily Bread.

Freeman and his wife, Laura Beane Freeman (’95 biology), are life members of the ISU Alumni Association and the parents of two children: Bennett and Clara.
